KNITTED ANGELS
Each year we "release" hundreds of angels into the local community and hope that many people find them and are blessed by the messages of hope they bear.
They come with our love and prayers for you and your families.

Bridge Centre Kitchen Refurbishment
Feb/March 2020
For almost 5 years we have worked with the kitchen which was originally put in when the Bridge Centre was built. However, this has over time begun to show the wear and tear as it was never designed to be used as much as it has been!
A purpose built, semi industrial kitchen was required along with a much needed dish-washer.
That's what has been created and we hope that it will make the workload of the cafe volunteers a safer and easier environment in which we can serve our local community.
